Where possible, treat inside a fumigation chamber.
If not using a sealed pressure injection unit:
The area to be fumigated should be well
cultivated and the soil/compost should be moist
but not wet.
Make a furrow (150 mm deep) around the plot to
be treated and lay tarpaulin, polythene or other
plastic sheeting over cover supports (e.g.
inverted bottles or wire hoops), to enclose the
material to be fumigated. Ensure the sheeting
edges are in the furrow.
Connect plastic hoses to cylinder.
Thoroughly seal edges of sheet in the furrow, by
filling with soil and tramping down.
Connect applicator and turn on valve on the
cylinder.
Refer to General Instructions section for more
detailed instructions.
If using a sealed, pressure injection unit:
Thoroughly cultivate the soil and ensure it is kept
in moist conditions for 5 to 7 days prior to
treatment;
Apply methyl bromide to the soil by means of a
sealed pressure injection unit, with tyne spacing
of 30 cm and at a depth of 15 - 20 cm;
To seal in fumigant, cover immediately behind
tynes with plastic sheet and seal edges.
It is recommended that recapture technology to
recapture methyl bromide at the end of the
treatment, be used where appropriate.
Note that recapture of methyl bromide at the end
of the treatment, for re-use or destruction, may
be a legal requirement in some states.

* QPS = Quarantine and Pre-shipment. The Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management
Regulations 1995 set out what are QPS uses.
Quarantine relates to fumigations performed by, or with the authorisation of, a Commonwealth, State or Territory
authority to prevent the introduction, establishment or spread of a pest or disease in Australia, a State or a
Territory.
Pre-shipment relates to fumigations carried out on a commodity, before it is exported, to meet the requirements
of the importing country or a law of the Commonwealth.
**: CUE: Critical Use Exemption. This is an approved non-QPS + use of methyl bromide, granted by the Parties
to the Montreal Protocol.
Exempt persons are listed on the Non-QPS Exemption List, posted on the Department of the Environment and
Water Resources [DEW] website (www.environment.gov.au/atmosphere/ozone/publications/exemption-list.html).
Exempt persons must not use quantities of methyl bromide in excess of their allocated amount, specified on the
Non-QPS Exemption List, and are only permitted to use methyl bromide for the purpose for which the
exemption was granted.
Approved CUEs must be current in the year of methyl bromide use.
+: Methyl bromide is used for a Non-QPS application if it is used for an application that is not a QPS application
and other than as a feedstock.
# : Record Keeping: Anyone who uses methyl bromide must keep a record of the details of every fumigation
performed, for a period of five years, in an approved form. Inspectors appointed under the Ozone Protection and
Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989 may audit these records at any time.
## : Reporting: Exemption holders are required to report all use under their exemption, within 14 days of the
end of each 6 month period staring January and July, to Department of the Environment and Water Resources
[DEW], in an approved form.
General Fumigants
Prevent leakage of fumigant, ensure that all windows, doors and other openings are sealed and the area
is signposted. When fumigating buildings, grain trucks and ship holds, apply the fumigant from outside the
structure. After fumigation, aerate the structure well and keep animals, children and unauthorised persons
away from the treatment area until free from Methyl Bromide as indicated by an appropriate measuring device.
Refer to General Instructions section for more detailed instructions.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
IMPORTANT
General: DO NOT fumigate more than once as the
treated commodity could become unfit for use.
Fumigation and aeration should be performed in
accordance with the appropriate Code of Practice
for fumigation using methyl bromide. Signs as below
must be prominently shown at all approaches to
fumigation site.
DANGER - TOXIC GAS - KEEP AWAY
Station a guard at the treatment site to prevent
entry of unauthorised persons, children and
animals, during treatment and aeration period.
After fumigation, aerate structures well, until an
appropriate measuring device indicated fumigation
area free of Methyl Bromide.
DO NOT drop, bump or drag cans.
DO NOT unload by rope-sling, hooks or tongs.
Keep cans upright in tamper-proof airy stores,
away from dwelling and food and feedstuffs.
Put out all pilot lights and glowing heating units.
Always wear full face respirator (with Methyl Bromide
“O” type canister) complying with AS 1716 when
releasing gas and after fumigation when aerating
the area.
Soil Fumigation: Plant growth has occasionally
been unsatisfactory in soil treated with this product.
Difficulty has been experienced with carnations,
conifers, holly, multiflora roses, snapdragons and
other ornamental plants and shrubs. Be sure treated
soil or material is free from METHYL BROMIDE
before seeding or using. Working the soil will help
aeration. Prevent contamination of fumigated areas.
If necessary to avoid flooding, trench around them or
build wooden or earthen dams. Clean shoes carefully
when walking from untreated to treated soil. Do not
use tools, transplants or crop remains that may carry
pests from unfumigated areas. Fumigation with
METHYL BROMIDE may slow down nitrification.
Certain ammonia-sensitive plants such as tomatoes,
may suffer growth inhibition or stand reduction when
placed in soil containing high ammonia-nitrogen. This
hazard can be overcome by delaying planting for
several months or by the application of nitrate from
nitrogenous fertilizers.
General Fumigation: Wear full-face respirator
(with Methyl Bromide”O” type canister) complying
with AS 1716 when releasing gas and when opening
up structures for aeration. Use a halide detector for
locating gas leaks from cylinders and outside
structures. Use detection tubes or other monitoring
devices inside structures. DO NOT enter fumigation
areas until Methyl Bromide free as indicated by
measuring devices. If however treated area must be
entered, a self-contained breathing suit or apparatus
conforming to AS 1715 and AS 1716 MUST BE
WORN.
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP
8A
INSECTICIDE
For insecticide resistance management Nufarm
Methyl Bromide 1000 Fumigant ‘Methyl Bromide
1000’ is a group 8A insecticide. Some naturally
occurring insect biotypes resistant to ‘Methyl Bromide
1000’ and other Group 8A insecticides may exist
through normal genetic variability in any insect
population. The resistant individuals can eventually
dominate the insect population if ‘Methyl Bromide
1000’ and other Group 8A insecticides are used
repeatedly. The effectiveness of ‘Methyl Bromide
1000’ on resistant individuals could be significantly
reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is
difficult to detect prior to use, Nufarm Australia
Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may
result from the failure of ‘Methyl Bromide 1000’ to
control resistant insects. ‘Methyl Bromide 1000’ may
be subject to specific resistance management
strategies. For further information contact your local
supplier, Nufarm Australia Limited representative or
local agricultural department agronomist.
Warning: Methyl Bromide gas is colourless,
odourless and highly dangerous. Extreme caution
is required when handling.
